Tax Cuts & the Market: 5 Broker-Friendly Stocks in Focus

Given the buoyant mood prevalent in the markets these days, courtesy of the biggest overhaul in U.S. tax code in 30 years, it can safely be said that Christmas has arrived early for corporate America. The overhaul will see corporate tax rate being lowered from 35% to 21%. The huge drop will be implemented next year, instead of being delayed until 2019.

With the domestic economy on a solid footing, it is of little surprise that U.S. stock markets are hitting all-time highs on a fairly regular basis. With overall sentiments positive, it is natural that investors would like to design their respective portfolios with winning stocks.

However, the task is easier said than done as a deluge of stocks flood the market at any point of time. Moreover, the investing world is full of uncertainties and stock prices are sensitive to recent developments.

The task becomes even more difficult when one tries to select a winning portfolio without proper guidance. Given time constraints, it is in the best interest of investors to be guided by experts in the field.
